Sledgehammer workouts

Bought an 8-lb sledge the other day.. done two of my WOW's with it so far. Went with an 8lb thinking it might be "light," but after 10 full-force strikes.. I'm pretty wasted. Really like it.. incorporating push-ups, hand-stand push-ups (using a tree for support), lunges, then back to swinging the 'hammer.

However, I could use some moves other than striking a piece of rubber. (I use it like chopping wood-- seems to get my abs nicely too). Tried swinging in a circle over-head but can't seem to get the form right.

I've seen some descriptions, but could use some video.

Anyone care to post their sequence? Are there soem good video examples?

I do most of the movements on here: Shovelglove 102 - Dynamic Motions
After 2 months I have moved up from the 8lbs to a 20lbs sledge. It is a real ass-kicker, but it works very well and is a shitload of fun.

People too weak to follow their own dreams will always try to discourage others.

An 8lbs hammer was heavy? I started with a 10lbs and that was easy! Oh and look up the highland games hammer toss. That is a pretty good exercise.

In all of the universe there is only one person with your exact charateristics. Just like there is only one person with everybody else's characteristics. Effectively, your uniqueness makes you pretty average.
